Snell 2015 helmets & stock seat head rest bump?
The latest rated helmets seem to have grown in size, good for a head injury prevention I bet, but what if it hits the head rest so much it ***** your head/chin down? Do you suppose that Snell has figured that into their injury prevention formula, that it might not be so good to have your neck at an angle like that on impact with stock seats? Any work arounds on this? Thanks.

I have a Bell SA2015 and didn't notice any difference with the stock C5 sports seats. Doesn't contact with the Sparco Evo either. How vertical do you have the seat back?

Had zero issues with my Bell full face SA2015 rated helmet in my 2013.

Just got a new G-force carbon and returned it for a Bell. Both are noticeably larger than my SA2005 G-force hybrid. Not good for me, but they're all this way.
